Fuel pressure at 20 psi at idle bleeds down engine off key off within 3 minutes. Maximum pressure above idle 26 psi. Could problem be the fuel filter? What would cause pressure bleed off with key turned off?

Could be as simple as your fuel filter...after the truck starts..can you keep it runing by gunning the motor?

If you can feather the accelerator to keep the motor runing, I'd start at the filter, and then check the fuel pump

SOURCE: Bleeding Brakes on a 2001 Silverado Z71

Tony,

When bleeding brakes after the system has been opened for service (you didn't say if you were doing any work on the master cylinder) you should start with the farthest wheel away from the master cylinder, which is the righ rear. Fill the master cylinder, then have an assitant "pump up" the brake pedal. Tell them to hold it down firmly, then open the bleeder on the wheel cylinder(s). Do not release the brake pedal until you have closed the bleeder valve again. You'll know when the air is out - there won't be any more bubbles. Since this vehicle is 2001, this would be a great opportunity to flush the system. Just make sure you have enough brake fluid (DOT 3 or 4, depending on your vehicle). Good luck!

SOURCE: How do you bleed brakes on a 1999 GMC Sierra with

The rule of thumb is to start as far away from the master cylinder as poss. so it means you start at the right rear, left rear, right front, then at last left front. There is a little a little weep bolt on each calliper it needs to be un lossened when break is fully applyed then tighten weep bolt back up pump the breaks while weep bolt is still tight then hold brake pedal down to floor lossen weep bolt till a full steam of fluid comes out tighten bolt back up, now move on to the next break calliper and repeat this same proccess till you finished. Hope this works better than r/r l/r r/f l/f lol!!!!

2001 chevy silverado fails to start on random days, 50 psi fuel pressure at test port, a couple of hours later it starts perfectly and does so for a month or so then does it again

need to check fuel pressure before trying to start and see if it's bleeding down or staying pressurized hook gauge on and check periodically before trying to start, seems like mine done that and it was a b ad fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail, 5.3 ? it's on drivers side rail with vacumn line erunning to it about the size of silver dollar diam.

Fuel pressure

Key on, engine off: 35 to 45 psi.
Engine idling: 30 to 35 psi.
Engine idling, vacuum hose disconnected: 35 to 45 psi.

It also says that the pressure should drop by 3 to 10 psi when going
from key on, engine off, to normal idle pressure.

What should the fuel pressure be on a 2000 ford e250

Hi. The engine should idle with a fuel pressure range anywhere between 13-20 psi. With the engine off, and the key on, it will push slightly higher for a short moment of 1 or 2 seconds.

When attempting to start truck it doesn't seem like i'm getting g

sounds like the fuel pump pressure check valve has failed, when this happens it will cause long crank times, run a fuel pressure leak down test, turn the engine on with a test gauge attached to the test port on the top of engine, shut the engine off and watch the fuel pressure, it should not drop more than a few PSI.
